DOES YOUR CHILD BEAD LIBRARY BOOKS? James G. Newland, writing for the Indianapolis News says, "Perhaps the city's most encouraging preventive against increasing juvenile delinquency is its public Jibrary. Its shelves stocked with thousands of good books, and its staff composed of well-trained librarians, the Indianapolis system of encouraging children to become interested in books doubtless has caused scores of youngsters to turn from sources of trouble to wholesome activities." "The library," according to

Miss Marian McFadden, city 11 j brarian of Indianapolis, "does j not necessarily combat juvenile

delinquency. Our work is to encourage children to read good books and to educate and to assist parents in guiding their children to this important end. This may prevent youngsters ' from getting into trouble." What is true of Indianapolis also is true of Sullivan, on a smaller scale. Unfortunately, however, for a . year there has been a marked decline in the number of juvenile readers who requent the Sullivan Public Library. Have the parents and the teachers lost interest in the reading of our city's children? Or is the staff at the library at "fault? If so, come in and set us right! The shelves at the Sullivan Public Library are filled with good books, the old favorites and the newest ones out, graded and

suited to children from the ages I , of six, to sixteen. The reading of these books will teach the child to be kind io dumb animals. He will learn how - to care for his pet dog,-cat, pony of bird In order to winthe pet's confidence and devotion. What a pity it is for a boy or girl to mistreat a helpless animal. What joy can be derived from kindness and thoughtfulness on .behalf of a young master.

From a right attitude toward 1

pets the youngster naturally develops right attitudes toward his playmates, and thus, step by step he becomes a right-minded citizen who respects the opinions of others and knows how to cooperate with others for the .common good. The writer of this article hopes that it may represent an S.O.S. to parents and teachers to get the children to the public library. Thank youj Emma Kennedy City librarian
